VERB Appoints Kym Nelson as Chief Content Officer
October 21 2020 - 8:50AM
VERB Technology Company,
Inc. (NASDAQ: VERB) ("VERB" or the
"Company"), a leader in interactive video-based
sales enablement applications, including interactive livestream
ecommerce, webinar, CRM and marketing applications for
entrepreneurs and enterprises, today announced the appointment
of Kym Nelson as Chief Content Officer for a new division of the
Company.
A digital advertising and sales executive recognized as a
subject matter expert on gaming, live streaming media, eSports and
branded content, Ms. Nelson joins VERB after highly successful
stints at Twitch, Maxim Magazine, Interplay Games and Fox
Interactive, among others. As Vice President of West Coast Sales
for Fox Interactive, IGN Entertainment and Myspace, she championed
and gained approval to create Fox Interactive Media’s first
vertical sales team to represent both IGN Entertainment and
Myspace. Her vision paid off, achieving annual sales of $35 million
and tripling Myspace gaming industry revenue from $3 million to $10
million.
In 2013, Ms. Nelson was recruited as Senior Vice President, West
Coast Sales at Twitch, at the time an early-stage pre-IPO company.
Kym played a critical role in positioning the company—which has
become the world’s leading live streaming video platform and
community for gamers with up to three million broadcasters and 100
million monthly viewers—for acquisition by Amazon. At Twitch, she
built and inspired a world-class team of 20, built the sales story
and methodology, and was instrumental in driving revenue growth
from $2 million to $40 million.
“We are thrilled to welcome Kym to the VERB team,” said Rory J.
Cutaia, VERB CEO. “Kym is a forward-thinker with a proven track
record in the digital space. Her knowledge and experience are not
only an enormous advantage, but she will also add rocket fuel to
the current hyper-growth initiatives I’ve alluded to in our recent
earnings call. I look forward to working with Kym as we execute on
our strategies to deliver higher value for our stakeholders.”
“Joining an envelope-pushing company like VERB is a tremendous
opportunity and I couldn’t be more excited to work with Rory and
the rest of the team,” Ms. Nelson said. “I look forward to making
an impact by leveraging what I’ve learned across my career to help
Rory realize the grand vision he has laid out for VERB; one for
which I have long been an avid advocate, even back to my time at
Twitch. There’s a confluence of events unfolding right now that
have created an extraordinary opportunity for companies like VERB
that had the foresight to position themselves properly and I’m
thrilled to now be a part of it.”
